__________________________________________________


The conference on Embodiment and Race is a two-day interdisciplinary
conference that will explore the issues of race and embodiment from
the perspectives of critical-race theory and phenomenology. The aim
of the conference is to open a space for academics and the local
community where we can extend and deepen our understanding of recent
debates on race, racialization, and being an embodied agent of a
minority group.

This conference will bring together academics who work on race and
embodiment to share their studies and discuss different approaches to
these issues. We will explore the issues of philosophy of racism and
racial embodiment focusing on questions: What role does embodiment
play in the experience of racism and/or racial harm? How do various
social policies benefit or burden people classified as being a given
race? Does racism harm the racist as well as the victim? We plan to
publish a selection of the conference papers in the conference
proceedings.

Possible topics may include: 

- Phenomenological perspectives on embodiment
- Embodiment and racism
- Race, racism, racialization
- Colonialism and race
- Embodiment and Identity
- Embodied experience and the political

We welcome all submissions on these topics. We particularly encourage
interdisciplinary submissions, submissions from underrepresented
areas of philosophy, and submissions from members of underrepresented
groups.
